(11,031 posts)... that was ever 'demolished' with thermite? I would love to learn about it, if you could provide the name of one.
If it never happened before, it couldn't have happened on 9/11, huh. Funny how bad logic is good enough for you if it gives the 'conclusion' you want.
Do you know of a building that was designed exactly like WTC7 that suffered a seven-hour unfought fire and didn't collapse? I would love to learn about it, if you could provide the name of one.
gyroscope
(1,443 posts)before 9/11 there were actually no steel-framed skyscrapers that have ever been demolished by a controlled demolition, surprisingly enough.
may or may not be true, but recalling all the videos I ever saw of known and acknowledged controlled demolitions of tall buildings I realized they were all made of concrete or steel-reinforced concrete. they were not steel-frame skyscrapers. so if what I read is true then the WTC towers could be the first modern steel-frame skyscrapers to be brought down that way.
sort of makes sense. explosives would be ideal for blasting through concrete pillars and supports.
but thermite, an incendiary commonly used by welders to cut through thick steel, may be more suited for cutting through the structural steel columns and beams found in steel-framed skyscrapers.
Civilian Uses
Thermite reactions have many uses. Thermite is not an explosive; instead it operates by exposing a very small area of metal to extremely high temperatures. Intense heat focused on a small spot can be used to cut through metal or weld metal components together both by melting metal from the components, and by injecting molten metal from the thermite reaction itself.

the bolded would explain the large pools of molten metal witnesses saw in the aftermath of the collapses.

William Seger
(11,031 posts)The tallest steel-framed building ever demolished with explosives was the 28-story J.L.Hudson Department Store in Detroit (and actually, only a small part of it was that tall). Watch this video and then try again to tell me how WTC7 was anything like this:
Even though this building was considerably shorter than WTC7, it was a major technical challenge:
http://www.controlled-demolition.com/jl-hudson-department-store
It's fair enough to say that it's theoretically possible to demolish a 47-story building with either explosives or thermite even though neither has ever been done (and even though there it's never been demonstrated that cutting a heavy column with thermite is actually possible). However, it's intellectually irresponsible to fail to consider what either would entail, and to simply imagine that either could be done in secret, in an occupied office building, in such a way that it would look like exactly like a progressive collapse caused by loss of structural integrity.
The NIST hypothesis was formulated through quantitative, physics-based analysis by dozens of structural mechanics experts, most of whom were from private industry. The CD hypothesis was concocted using imaginary physics by people who apparently don't know anything at all about structural mechanics. The NIST hypothesis does a credible job of explaining ALL the evidence, whereas the CD hypotheses falls completely apart if all the evidence is considered. When asked to justify and substantiaate such a ludicrously implausible hypothesis as CD, the best "truthers" can do is to say, "If it looks like a CD, then it must be a CD," while ignoring that the premise is not sound and that the logical inference is not valid. "Truthers" expect people to ignore that and instead just count how many signatures Richard Gage has garnered with his disingenuous presentations.

(1,443 posts)but it wouldn't be that hard to rig the building.
it would be done under the guise of doing renovation and repair work.
skyscrapers undergo routine repairs, maintenance and construction/renovation work done to them all the time. work crews could simply close off and evacuate each floor of the building one at a time, and no one could see or figure out what they were doing.
and no modern building, steel or concrete, has ever collapsed because of fire. the idea that building 7 was brought down by a minor office fire that was isolated to one or two floors and melted its steel columns is laughable. it wasn't a towering inferno. and in the past when buildings caught fire and became great big towering infernos on multiple dozens of floors, blazing for hours and hours on end, guess what? they still remained standing tall after the fires were put out and did not collapse.
superbeachnut
(381 posts)WTC 7 was a major fire, not fought. You lie about the fire, they burned unchecked.
High-rise buildings that did not collapse, fire were fought. No fires in 1, 2, or 7 were fought on 911.
911 truth lost this BS, but they can try harder with Bigfoot, they can use the same evidence, aka nothing.
One Meridian Plaza was evacuated because it might collapse, it was on fire, it was never was used again.
Many buildings have been totaled by fire, steel fails in fire, 911 truth lies, two facts true.

You should do some research before spreading lies about 911. A building totaled by fire, steel...
Fire can't bend steel... fires fought keep buildings standing, but can't save them. Office fire, little office fire did this, oops, 911 truth lied, you are spreading the lie of little fires... Why
Never used again!!! Like WTC 7, but it did not fall, it was taken down, too damaged to be used again, BY FIRE. 911 truth lied.
Wow, steel fails in fire. Who knew, 911 truth has no clue.
911 truth lies, fire destroys, "ordinary" fires. 911 truth lies about fire, why did the people jump if WTC fires were small? Why does 911 truth lie? Why do you support idiotic lies.
In the 13th year of lies, 911 truth fails on fire.

(3,829 posts)That claim alone totally discredits anything you have to say.
The reason fireproofing is applied to the steel beams in buildings is because they are vulnerable to collapsing. Fireproofing is no good against unfought fires.

it doesn't even look like a steel-frame building. I don't see any exposed steel columns. a short building with only 5 or 6 floors doesn't need to be built with a steel frame anyway. it looks like a pretty flimsy structure, and yet it still stands after being gutted on all floors by an all-consuming fire.

zappaman
(20,612 posts)Unicorn bones actually are used in many buildings in the United States thanks to the powerful Unicorn Bones Lobby or UBL.
gyroscope
(1,443 posts)its actually two buildings in one. the main part of the structure is only 5 or 6 stories. the skinny part in front of the main structure is 13 stories, which is the part of the building that collapsed, and even then it was only a partial collapse of the secondary structure. and 13 stories is no high-rise. the other thing is, the 13 stories of the secondary structure is almost the same height as the main structure at 6 stories.
the most significant thing to know is that the main structure of the Delft Technology building, which was not a highrise , remained standing after the fire was put out. whereas the twin towers and building 7, on the other hand, were total collapses of high-rises where nothing remained standing.
to try to compare them reeks of desperation because they are in no way comparable.

gyroscope
(1,443 posts)indicates a controlled demolition, but not a standard one where the structure is imploded and contained more or less into its own footprint.
speed of collapse is much too fast to be explained by pancaking floors. and I use the term collapse loosely because it is not a collapse but is being exploded from the top down at a tremendous rate of speed. what kind of force could create temperatures high enough to melt steel and reduce a modern 110-story skyscraper to a pile of dust within a matter of seconds? only thing I could think of is advanced military-grade explosives to pull off something like that. certainly not an office fire can do that.
An explosion is a rapid increase in volume and release of energy in an extreme manner, usually with the generation of high temperatures and the release of gases. Supersonic explosions created by high explosives are known as detonations and travel via supersonic shock waves. Subsonic explosions are created by low explosives through a slower burning process known as deflagration. When caused by a man-made device such as an exploding rocket or firework, the audible component of an explosion is referred to as its "report" (which can also be used as a verb, i.e., "the rocket reported loudly upon impact".)

I also think it's highly possible that the plane that crashed(or was shot down) in Pennsylvania was supposed to hit building 7. But it failed but they had to demolish it anyway to destroy certain evidence of crimes that were in the building. IMHOOC!
gyroscope
(1,443 posts)about the Pennsylvania flight. may very well be true.
I think Bdlg 7 was supposed to come down at the same time as the twin towers so the larger buildings could mask the destruction of Bldg 7. but there was a technical glitch and it failed to come down as planned. which meant that when it did come down later in the day the whole world could see Bldg 7 was an obvious CD. so then they were forced to come up with their ridiculous story of office fires as the cause of the collapse.
OOPS .

IronGate
(2,186 posts) 
AZCat
(8,345 posts)then that indicates you have some sort of expectation for the duration of conventional collapses (non-controlled demolition). Can you provide that expectation and an explanation of how you determined that to be an appropriate duration?
gyroscope
(1,443 posts)in other words it shouldn't have collapsed at all.
pancaking floor by definition would create a decrease in acceleration (and corresponding increase in time) - a jolt or interruption - every time the pile driver hit another floor on its way down. but that is clearly not the case with the wtc buildings. in fact the buildings are actually accelerating, the same type of smooth acceleration you expect from an object in freefall with nothing below it to break its fall until it reaches the ground, with no jolts.
what happens when you hit a standard steel nail with a hammer? the fall of the hammer is interrupted and is actually stopped in its tracks when it strikes the nail. you then must lift the hammer up high above the nail and strike the nail once again, and again, and again until the nail is driven all the way into the wood. the hammer doesn't just keep falling as if the nail wasn't even there. the nail isn't just going to give way on the first strike, or even the second or third strike of the hammer.
in short the pancaking/pile driver theory is not possible under the known laws of motion and physics. its utterly absurd.
AZCat
(8,345 posts)I did a simple one myself several years ago, and the collapse times I calculated were pretty close to the times reported by NIST. You shouldn't notice much of a deceleration once the collapse gets underway because the difference in mass between the falling portion and subsequent floors is quite significant. Jolts, if at all measurable in collapse initiation (good luck finding decent locations to measure from), soon become insignificant compared to the overall noise in the collapse mechanism.
gyroscope
(1,443 posts)You shouldn't notice much of a deceleration once the collapse gets underway because the difference in mass between the falling portion and subsequent floors is quite significant.
that might be true if the building was made out of balsa wood and toothpicks. then maybe fire could have turned it into a pile of ashes within a matter of seconds. but 90 floors and 47 core columns made of the strongest structural steel known to man...is going to provide quite a massive amount of resistance to the alleged pile driver or falling upper block which supposedly consisted of the 10 or 20 floors above the impact zone.
Physics 101: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
hence the upper block isn't going to destroy the much more massive lower block, without first destroying itself, long before it can reach the ground. so the official explanation, is beyond ludicrous.
AZCat
(8,345 posts)It's scarily easy for the collapse to progress to completion once initiated, because the individual columns are loaded beyond their capacity by the failure of others. The math is pretty simple if you have the geometry laid out correctly and your materials modeled appropriately. Even the baseline loads calculated for the towers by NIST had some structural members (including both perimeter and core columns) with DCRs greater than 1.0.
Your "Physics 101" claim isn't going to do much good if you don't allow for all the relevant forces. Neglecting gravity is going to cause problems in your model, because that's the reason the falling mass doesn't just disappear. That mass has to go somewhere, and the dominant force acting on it is gravity, so it goes down.
gyroscope
(1,443 posts)is that a joke?
I'm pretty sure the engineers and architects took that into account when they designed the wtc buildings. I don't think any competent structural engineer would fail to take the forces of gravity into account when designing any kind of structure, at least not in the first world. so you're really reaching there to put it mildly.
AZCat
(8,345 posts)The system you're describing is subject to external forces in addition to forces created by the interactions between parts of the system. The upper and lower parts of the towers are both subject to gravity, which is an external force.
gyroscope
(1,443 posts)its Newton's Third Law, and well established science taught in every science classroom in the country. look it up if have to. I'm pretty sure Sir Newton took the forces of gravity into account when he discovered it.
please show me a real world example or experiment where one object can completely destroy another object made of the same material and mass, using the force of gravity alone, without destroying itself in the process, while falling at the same rate of speed of the twin towers. with smooth acceleration all the way through, without jolts or interruptions.
would be incredible if you could show us something like that. you would get the Nobel Prize for proving Mr. Newton wrong.
AZCat
(8,345 posts)Your application of that particular law, however, is not appropriate. Neither is your strawman in the second paragraph.
I do recommend, though, if you are trying to convince people of something you should probably stick to terms and concepts with which you are familiar. Your description of the collapse of the towers indicates you are not as familiar with basic physics as you might think. Terms like "speed" and "acceleration" have specific meanings, and you've managed to jumble them up into an incoherent mess. This is not uncommon for laypeople, but is an excellent example why some discussions aren't meant to include everyone. Perhaps you should just leave this to the experienced professionals?
gyroscope
(1,443 posts)is a strawman is in your universe? I don't know where you are from, but here on earth science is conducted with real world testing and experiments not just theories and ridiculous claims. it can't be called science if you can't prove it.
This is science:
The scientific method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.[1] To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.[2] The Oxford English Dictionary defines the scientific method as "a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses."[3]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method
This is non-scientific hocus pocus voodoo aka the NIST report:
NIST official FAQs
22. Did the NIST investigation look for evidence of the WTC towers being brought down by controlled demolition? Was the steel tested for explosives or thermite residues?
NIST did not test for the residue of these compounds in the steel.
http://www.nist.gov/el/disasterstudies/wtc/faqs_wtctowers.cfm
See the difference?
AZCat
(8,345 posts)However, there is a world of difference between the paragraph I referenced and an accurate description of the collapses. That paragraph is a strawman, because it asks for a "real world example or experiment" supposedly with the purpose of validating the science behind the collapses by example, but the description is incorrect and the idea itself depends on an understanding of the science that is wholly lacking. It is not necessary to have witnessed a prior event that matches the characteristics of the event in question in order for us to understand the behavior.
Again, perhaps this should be left to experienced professionals. Engineering through Google isn't sufficient for the task, at least in your case.

AZCat
(8,345 posts)However, I have performed calculations myself that confirm my conclusions, and they are far more robust than those performed by the truth movement. Official coverups of political issues aside, the collapses were mostly as described in the NIST reports. Both the duration of the collapses and the so-called symmetry are well within the limits of expected behavior for natural collapses. It isn't my fault that a whole collection of uninformed laypeople think they know better than the professionals.

Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities...continued
